Ten Dutch and five Turkish art academy graduates are nominated for the annual competition between the best graduation clips, films, documentaries and animations.
On the evening of Friday 13 July 2012, TENT presents the TENT Academy Awards, the annual film competition that shines the spotlight on the best graduating audiovisual talent from the Netherlands and abroad. The TENT Academy Award will be presented by an international jury, including Defne Ayas and Sacha Bronwasser, during the award evening in Cinerama Filmtheater. An award will also be presented to the best graduating audiovisual artist from the guest country Turkey.
International Jury in 2012
This year’s international jury is chaired by Sacha Bronwasser, art critic of the Volkskrant and programme advisor for the International Film Festival Rotterdam. The other members of the jury are: Defne Ayas, director Witte de With contemporary art center, Ahmet Öğüt, visual artist, lives and works in Amsterdam and Istanbul, and Floris Kaayk, laureate animator and film director.
